Never read new world, but 1984 I found relyed to much on narrative and demostared orwells complete lack of knoweldge of the working class.

I haven't read a Brave New world. But I have 1984, I didn't liek it much. I liked Clockwork Orange a lot more. Also the short story Harrison Bergeron was pretty good.

Harrison bergeron was good, personally I liked both of the books alot, althought 1984 had a better narrative than brave new world. I would read Clockwork Orange but it looks kinda freaky.

They both are, but imo 1984 has the tighter narrative and plot over Brave new world. 1984 is probably more realistic than Brave new world considering our current level of technology and society.

I liked Brave New World better, it was more philosophical. However I agree with Lycrof, I think A Clockwork Orange is better than both.
